Functional Description

The parameter represents the reference acceleration, which is derived from the reference velocity RefVelocity, in units per second2.

NOTE: In PacDrive systems, the user coordinate system is represented in units. Depending on the setting of the FeedConstant (units/revolution or units/m), the user coordinate system is mapped to the physical dimensions. In a multi carrier transport system, one user unit is mapped to 1 mm on the physical track. The setting of a FeedConstant is not supported.

Coordinate displacements with FC_SetposSingle() do not affect the parameter RefAcceleration.

The value of RefAcceleration is calculated once per Sercos cycle (see CycleTime). For more information on the CycleTime, refer to the LMC Pro Device Objects and Parameters Guide.

NOTE: If EnableSet inside the user function CarrierState (see CarrierState) is disabled, the value of Position (see Position) is cyclically copied to RefPosition (see RefPosition). RefAcceleration is calculated from this path of positions. Disabling EnableSet while the carrier is still in motion causes a jump in RefPosition. When calculating RefAcceleration from RefPosition, this jump is indicated. This results in peaks with reversed signs in RefAcceleration due to the double derivation in two sequential Sercos cycles. The carrier does not react to the peaks as it no longer follows the reference values when EnableSet is disabled.
NOTE: The parameter value is transferred from the master to the slave via the real-time channel of the Sercos. A transmission is only possible in the Sercos phase 4 (operating phase).
